Is it easy to be a responsible player?

[Lida93]

There should be no much lessons to attend in order to be able to learn how to be a responsible gamblers other than making sure to use funds that we can afford to lose to gamble and not also entertaining the idea of getting rich through gambling. I think these are the simple factors that determines responsible gambling, because if you don't lose more than you can afford to then you wouldn't be having a need to chase losses, and if you're not among those that takes gambling as a means of getting rich then there's nothing you have to do with impulsive gambling at all cost.

That should be the basic motto in gambling. Gamble when you have extra. And not because you want to find extra funds. Because most gamblers have the mindset that gambling can either give him the jackpot or will give him the huge profit that he's aiming for. However, we all know the end result of most of our games.

Though some are playing for fun, but we all know they also have hidden desires of winning. And they are like occasional gamblers that would only play using spare funds, hence, they can easily say that they are indeed responsible gamblers. But for most, quite hard to be responsible as they can't contain themselves in front of their games.

For me, playing is a way to relax, and I enjoy the process itself. The most important thing is to set clear boundaries for yourself both in terms of time and the amount of money spent on the game, and then everything stays under control. Gambling only brings problems into our lives when we lack discipline and a proper system in managing our affairs and expenses.

I agreed with that and Aside from trying not to use so much funds to gamble just to prove that you are a responsible gambler, there are ways and mechanism a gambler can put in place that helps him to automatically operate a d gamble with the ambits of a responsible gambler, that covers more than not just using Money carelessly being the determinant factor to say a person is an irresponsible gambler.

I think those that have hard time in reducing their gambling activities need to accept some things about gambling. First, it's not going to make everyone win and that's why we need to chill and calm down whenever we're winning. The adrenaline rush that it provides us makes us confident that we're more than winners already if we think that luck is on us and gave us some few wins. But, that's not it. Being responsible is what gives us a strong foundation and that definitely gives us idea of how to gamble smartly and how we should keep ourselves in control despite sometimes, we get emotional breakdown.

In many cases, a lot of people often fail to control themselves despite setting their own limits. I think the best way to gamble is by betting small amounts of money because even if you have a losing streak, it probably won't have a bad impact on your daily life.
Additionally, to reduce the risk of addiction, I think it's important not to gamble too often. The time spent on gambling is essentially more valuable than the money. It is very wrong to make gambling a means of seeking wealth, regardless of the financial situation one is facing.

All is smooth until you’re actually in the situation. The feeling, the adrenaline, is much more intense. It’s not that gamblers don’t want to stop or calm down, but it’s really hard to control once you’re already playing. Greed, emotions, frustrations, everything can consume you, or you’ll let yourself get consumed even if you know you shouldn’t. Not everyone is capable of dealing with greed or frustrations while playing. For other gamblers, just thinking about it and actually experiencing it are two very different thing, easier said than done.

Not just for you, this is an idealogy I agree with all the time, a good number of times, gambling  may not be the issue but our greed and indiscipline may turn around to us and we begin  to fault gambling forgetting how nonchalant and undisciplined we have been. Setting boundaries when gambling and even when you are getting entertained shows the level of discipline you have attained and in most cases it obviously gets to help you with how you manage your finnace at the time mostly at the casino.

But if we take the average player - is it easy for him to be responsible? After all, people often come to the gaming industry with the naive goal of getting rich. And before they come to an understanding of responsible play, quite a long time may pass. It is somewhat similar to smoking or gluttony. Everyone knows that smoking is harmful, and excess weight causes health problems, but there are a huge number of people who cannot quit smoking or lose weight. What do you think makes a person become a responsible player and why is it difficult for many?

When you have other options and are active with other hobbies/activities, you are less likely to become hooked to a specific habit.  I'm proof that someone can gamble for many years without becoming addicted.  I only gamble when I want to gamble, not because I have to.

I can go a month without betting; it's all about discipline and knowing what you want.  One must have control over everything they choose to start on.

[rachael9385]

No it's not easy, if it's easy, I should have successfully convinced many gamblers to stop being addicts.

Everyone knows that smoking is harmful, and excess weight causes health problems, but there are a huge number of people who cannot quit smoking or lose weight. What do you think makes a person become a responsible player and why is it difficult for many?

Smoking is harmful, but it brings nicotine.
Excess weight is harmful, but it brings you happiness.

Being responsible is hard, but life without risk is not challenging. That's why people like to gamble to earn money, they like challenge and want to beat the house. If people said it's risky, they will counter if life itself is already risky, you get a job, you might suffer work accident etc.

It's only difficult once it becomes an addiction, but from that beginning stages it's easy to condition yourself and learn to do it moderately. Just like someone that takes his first sip of alcohol, that moment is actually very important because that is when the person gets to decide if it's going to be an addiction or not. It is easy to be a responsible gambler when you are just starting to gamble but if you don't learn self control it becomes a problem

[Dunamisx]

Why many are being addicted is because they don't have alternatives to what get them engaged, had it been they are always preoccupied with loads of activities for the day aside from gambling, some of them wouldn't ha e been found addicted the way they appear, this about understanding what is of priority to us, why we need to devote more of other time on other things that are important to life than always on gambling.

This is true, basically, gambling never becomes harmful for those who can discipline their mentality and activities here.
If gambling is only for entertainment and relaxation, it can be enjoyed positively, but when it is tried to achieve success through it, and the activities are carried out greedily, then it can naturally bring harm.
When a gambler loses control and gambles in a chaotic and uncontrolled manner, then gambling becomes a problem for him, no one tries to understand this in the first place, and because of this they cannot avoid this disaster.
Therefore, enjoying gambling within limits is the right decision, and this requires complete discipline and self-control.

People will become responsible when they see their gambling history, most of them spend more money than they earn, when their money is almost gone they will regret it, and they think that what they did was wrong, this is where they start to be responsible if they avoid the same mistakes, it is so difficult to be a responsible gambler after sacrificing quite a lot of money

Being addicted means too much time spending on it. So, we can't separate with that activity anymore. In gambling, this happens because of playing gambling in an excessive way. Sure, in the long run, we will too depend on gambling and we ignore other important activities in real life because of an excessive gambling. I think the main problem is lack of control in playing gambling. In this condition, it leads to an excessive gambling. So, it means it is very important to gave good self-control. If we have good self-control, we won't play gambling excessively and there will be no chance of addiction.

The problem is that we don't know when luck will strike. Even if a gambler comes with the intention of doubling their winnings, it doesn't mean they can't win. However, as I mentioned above, that's why we shouldn't gamble for entertainment. It's not impossible, but we certainly don't know whether we'll win or not.

Furthermore, gambling with the intention of making a profit will only damage our mental and psychological well-being. This is because when we expect to win but end up losing, we'll inevitably become emotional because we've lost money instead of making a profit. Essentially, throw away the idea of ​​"doubling your money" from gambling, because that's the beginning of disaster.

I began to play seriously when i decided to get additional profit. But of course it wasn`t a dream about jackpot. I knew that i had to work really hard to get profit.
But for common gambler who want to play time to time - your words are 100% correct. They mostly lose their money and it is important not to lose the last of it.

Re: Is it easy to be a responsible player?

It is very easy to be a responsible gambler, when you practice it from onset, then you will master the act of being responsible.
But if have been addicted along the line and you suddenly wants to be responsible, it will be a very difficult task to accomplish. So your question has a two face and as well will have a two faced answer of Yes and No.

Even those gamblers that are not addicted but practicalize the limit control approach to limit and control their gambling activities still find it a big job to cope up with things as following that principle all the time, let say that you have to put up against your desire all the time when you have a limit control in place this makes the approach a hard job, that approach is what we call responsible gambling but you can see that to achieve that you will be needing a lot of patience and endurance to the limit you have set.

I do not quite understand what you meant, your concept of limit control and how it relates to responsible gambling. Are you eulogizing limit control as a good way to becoming a responsible gambler or you are saying that even with limit control, it is still difficult to be a responsible gambler. But I believe that I made my point so clear for you to understand.
However, in your conclusion, you made it clear that to achieve responsible gambling, one must employ patience and endurance. Permit me to add contentment and risk management.

We must learn discipline  so we don't fall victim of this situation.  Even while trying out best to gamble disciplinly there often time we're the thought of overriding your schedule  just hit your side so bad that it feels like you have no other option than to concor to that voice. Well the truth is, if you actually  obey that voice that definitely means you're not ready to be a responsible gambler, because  the only way out is discipline gambling habits. Though while trying to quit the behavior you may face difficulties and psychologist say that it's best to start reducing your hunger by still doing those things little by little  until you're done for good.

Gambling addiction is one of the most powerful addictions known because it causes excessive dopamine release. Overeating is less serious than gluttony or smoking. That's why gambling addicts continue gambling until they reach their limit. However, gambling addiction can also be abandoned and simply played for fun.

It's all in the mind. if you convince your mind, all problems will disappear. By disciplining your mind, you become a responsible gambler.

[mcdouglasx]

Why many are being addicted is because they don't have alternatives to what get them engaged, had it been they are always preoccupied with loads of activities for the day aside from gambling, some of them wouldn't ha e been found addicted the way they appear, this about understanding what is of priority to us, why we need to devote more of other time on other things that are important to life than always on gambling.

I say the same, you have to keep busy and have other things to do in life to avoid getting hooked. If you have other things on your mind, it is certainly much more difficult to stay addicted. I would dare say that someone who has many activities as a hobby will hardly have problems controlling gambling since you eliminate anxiety from your body.
